Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

Endless sea fog rose up, even covering the sky, making it impossible to see the road ahead and difficult to tell the direction.

But this small obstacle can stop mankind's advanced radar and ships, but it cannot stop Eslo and Yveltal's steps. After passing through the last layer of fog, the boy felt that everything in front of him suddenly became clear, the sky became blue again, the warm sunshine slowly sprinkled down, and the waves crashed, but it was a pity that there were no birds singing.

Eslo subconsciously turned around and looked, only to see that the fog that had just blocked him had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the endless blue sky and sea, as if everything he had just experienced was just an illusion.

Perhaps this is the reason why the Alliance has not discovered this place and opened up a route until now. Retracting his thoughts, Aislo turned around and looked at the silent island in front of him.

"Yveltal, what do you think?" Eslo suddenly asked, putting his hands on his hips. There was no other reason, the island was just too quiet. There was no cry of elves, no sound of trees swaying, not even wind. It was as if there were no living things on it. It was very creepy.

【I sat and watched.】

"How do you sit down? And if you sit down, how do you put your tail?"

[Of course it's the same as before, idiot, forget it, I don't want to bother with you, I'm going to sleep first. ]

"Oh."

Okay, now, it’s time to land on the island.

……

boom--

A horrific explosion suddenly sounded, but it seemed inexplicably unreal and hazy, as if it was not reality but a memory.

The entire world was dark and even trembled with the sound of the explosion. Following that, a "cocoon" filled with endless power slowly floated into the air, emitting a lifeless light.

Dark red covered the earth, and all life that it illuminated turned into stone statues.

This is the cocoon of destruction that symbolizes extinction and annihilation.

The passing of life made the light emitted from the "cocoon" shine brighter and brighter, until one moment, a shrill scream resounded through the heaven and earth, and the cocoon turned into a large black and red bird with its body spread out like a "Y".

[Am I still dreaming?] A confused murmur sounded, and Yveltal opened his eyes filled with violence and destruction.

The next moment, all the malice in those eyes disappeared, and turned into calmness.

He was just talking just now, but unexpectedly he actually fell asleep. It seems that he has been too lazy recently.

【Whatever you think about, you will dream about. 】

A faint and gentle voice suddenly sounded, and in an instant Yveltal's pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip. He turned around abruptly and looked in disbelief at the familiar figure standing on the hillside not far away.

It has a slender figure, a mysterious blue-black color, and most strikingly, long branch-like horns dotted with colors.

The dreamy pink light makes everything look extremely dreamy, and the scattered colorful spots of light bring new life to this dead land.

[Xerneas...]

The God of Life - Xerneas.

[You...really a haunting person.]

Looking at the extremely familiar figure in front of him, Yveltal's tone was a little stiff. Even though he knew that all this was false, even though he knew that this was just his dream, the appearance of that guy still touched his heartstrings.

[How can you say that?] "Xerneas" chuckled, relaxed and relieved, [I am just your fantasy, how can I haunt you?]

[Tsk, it's my fault if you look at it this way.] Yveltal lowered her eyes, flapped her wings and lowered herself to the same height as Xerneas. [What am I still talking about, a dead bastard?]

[Is this all you want to say to me? I saw you crying so hard before, and I wanted to comfort you.] Xerneas' gentle tone suddenly changed to teasing.

[You bastard, you are as annoying as ever! No matter how much I cry, I don't need you to comfort me! ]

Yveltal's reaction caused Xerneas to suddenly laugh, and the ethereal and beautiful sound seemed extremely harsh to the ears of our great God of Destruction.

【Shut up! 】

【Oh. 】

【…】

The atmosphere became tense again after a brief moment of liveliness. Xerneas simply smiled faintly as he looked at Yveltal in front of him, just as he once looked at all life in the world with tenderness.

[…Do you regret it? ]

Yveltal's slightly hoarse voice broke the silence, and He looked at the dead silent land around Him with a complicated expression.

[What?] Xerneas tilted his head, seemingly not understanding.

[Is it worth dying to protect those weak lives?] Yveltal looked deeply at the god in front of him, and recalled the last time they looked at each other before escaping from that universe, the other person desperately protecting a forest, and... a look.

[Even if I had to do it again, I would still do it. As for whether it's worth it... I thought you would have understood after meeting him.] Xerneas raised one of his front hooves and then tapped the ground lightly.

The thriving grass sprouts broke through the soil, forming a lawn in a flash and then spreading into the distance.

Flowers of various colors bloomed, ancient trees that were thousands of years old grew instantly, and the stone statues all returned to their original appearance.

He is different.

【What's the difference? 】

[…It’s just different! ]

【Hahaha... OK, OK, different, different.】

The childish words made Xerneas chuckle once again. He really regretted not talking to this stupid bird more before, otherwise the boring life would have been more interesting... But unfortunately, with the existence of [Order], this idea could only be a fantasy.

[To you, he is special, but to me, all life in the world is extremely important.] Xerneas chose to stop the childish argument.

[Because you represent life? No, the Xerneas in other universes are much duller than you. Some of them were even unwilling to save a little girl who was petrified by me.] Yveltal was puzzled.

[They follow the rules and are unwilling to break them. In their view, you who symbolize destruction, or you all are within the rules of nature. As long as a certain limit is not reached, they have no right to interfere, and they cannot interfere, because if there is one, there will be two. The complexity of the world is beyond their control, and in the end they can only be full of compassion for all the lives in the world that are suffering - God's compassion. ]

【It's really a different kind of equal treatment. 】

[Well, compared to them, I lack some divinity, which is why I am different from them. ]

[Different? Now that I think about it, you are indeed much dumber than them. You are just like a machine that responds to every request, doing your best to satisfy the lives that seek your help, even if you are betrayed or used.]

[Are you stupid? Maybe, but aren't you stupid now? ]

[Huh? In my heart, he's the only one who matters. Isn't he much smarter than you?]

[Hehe...] Xerneas just shook his head. The other party was still growing, just like the stone slab. He simply changed the subject and said, [This kind of argument is meaningless. You will understand the meaning of life in the future. You are now much more grown than before.]

[That's... not right. Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to lecture me? ]

[Forget about the green onion in your head, okay? Really... Never mind, I won't see you anymore anyway...]

【…】

[Please take a good look at this world on my behalf, Yveltal.]

【Um. 】
